Arm Lift Before & After Case 233

This patient sought an arm lift as one of the final stages in her lipedema treatment. After managing discomfort and swelling associated with lipedema, she elected to have excess skin removed to help restore her arm’s contour and improve mobility. Many patients seek an arm lift in Atlanta after significant weight changes or medical procedures. Our goal was to address both her functional and aesthetic concerns.

We performed the skin removal procedure in a carefully planned step of her lipedema journey. By focusing on her comfort and recovery, we prioritized minimally invasive pain management techniques. Her recovery progressed as expected, with typical swelling subsiding over time and visible improvement in the appearance and shape of her upper arms.

An arm lift can be a meaningful part of lipedema treatment, providing lasting changes in comfort and self-image. As a board-certified plastic surgeon in Atlanta, I draw upon my experience as a former firefighter and paramedic to bring a practical approach to patient care. At our Atlanta office, we focus on education and body positivity throughout the surgical process.
